If you have received an FND or PNES diagnosis and wanted someone to just sit down and explain what is actually happening inside your nervous system — without dismissing you, without overwhelming you, and without making you feel like a medical mystery no one wants to solve — this one is for you.

If you have been told your seizures are not epilepsy and walked away feeling dismissed, unseen, or like you were somehow making it up — this post is for you. Your seizures are real. Your suffering is real. And you are not a pseudo anything.
